War in Ukraine

The president met with Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the G7 summit in France on Tuesday and said he would do “whatever I can” to help end the war with Russia.

The attacks killed at least nine people and sparked an intense fire at one of Ukraine’s most important religious and cultural landmarks.

The president arrives in France on Monday for the G7 summit, where the wars in Ukraine and Iran will top the agenda.

Ukrainian attacks along the R-280 or “Novorossiya” highway are laying waste to Russian logistics and causing gas stations to run dry.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces shot down 310 Ukrainian drones overnight into Monday, including over the Moscow region, western and southwestern Russia, Russian-occupied Crimea and the Black and Azov seas.

Russia hasn’t publicly commented on the alleged attack on the facility, 9 miles from the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster.

Talks appear no closer to ending the war, but the Russian president has sought to project a bullish view of his country’s economy.

Speaking in St. Petersburg days after Ukrainian drone strikes, Russia’s leader said there was “no point” in meeting Zelenskyy just yet.

The House passed a resolution earlier this week against President Donald Trump’s war against Iran.

Several were injured, authorities said, in the latest signal from Kyiv that it can strike deep inside enemy territory.
